ABOUT ME

graduated from college with a lit degree in 2008, and spent the past year living in new york, working in publishing. it's been great, but i'm not ready to settle into a permanent life, and when the opportunity for a cross-europe trek with my best friend presented itself, i jumped. and i'm excited about it.

PHILOSOPHY

the world, to me, is bizarre and wonderful and complicated. and i want to be as much a part of it as i can. human interactions are vital - all of them, from the awkward to the perfect. i want to feel as if i've experienced as much as i could in my life, and that i've learned from those experiences.

i also think we should all read more, and be kinder to one another.
